Hello group, I am trying to write a script in perl to monitor interface errors and total traffic during work hours. I'm doing an snmpwalk to get the info. I want the total amount of packets in and out of an interface so I can calculate the % of errors on the line.
Cisco says on their site : http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/477/SNMP/5.html that ifInNUcastPkts (.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.12) are counts of inbound broadcast and multicast packets ifOutUcastPkts (.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.17) are counts of outbound broadcast and multicast packets besides In and Out whats the difference? I thought Ucast meant unicast and NUcast meant broadcast and multicast. When queried, every int gives NUcast and Ucast which are different values. How could Cisco define them as the same. Is this a misprint? Lastly I'm assuming that total packets would be the sum of the 2(unicast + multicast/broadcast). Is this assumption correct? ps i don't want ifOutOctets because i want the # of packets not bytes. thankd Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=38824&t=38824 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
